Cousins in Love
Lydia loved her cousin Samuel, and began a correspondence with him when she was 15 that lasted until they were married seven years later. They tell of her blossoming love and her life in a small English village in Warwickshire. Being a guy, he responded to her love letters with a treatise, The Marriages of Cousin Germans, Vindicated from the Censures of Unlawfullnesse, and Inexpediency." His text follows her 32 letters, which face pages of explanatory notes.
Ill Composed
In the first in-depth study of how gender determined perceptions and experiences of illness in early modern England, Olivia Weisser invites readers into the lives and imaginations of ordinary seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Britons. Drawing on a wide range of sources, including personal diaries, medical texts, and devotional literature, this unique cultural history enters the sickrooms of a diverse sampling of men and women, from a struggling Manchester wigmaker to the diarist Samuel Pepys. The resulting stories of sickness offer unprecedented insight into what it was like to live, suffer, and inhabit a body in England more than three centuries ago.
